7-8 High Street, Cardigan

Looking for a characterful town-centre home with everything Cardigan has to offer practically on the doorstep? This spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat is arranged over two floors, with a pretty bow window overlooking the High Street, two double bedrooms and the unusual advantage of its own small garden area to the rear.

Set above commercial premises in a prominent position within the heart of Cardigan, this interesting property forms part of an older town-centre building within Cardigan's Conservation Area. Behind its traditional frontage is accommodation extending to approximately 82.1 sq. metres and offering considerably more space than might first be expected.

The property is approached from the rear, off Eben's Lane, where a shared pathway leads up steps and opens into the garden area. A slate pathway continues past the garden belonging to the flat before leading through an alleyway to a flight of external metal steps, shared with two other flats. These rise to an entrance hall which is shared with just one neighbouring flat, from where the private front door opens into the accommodation.

Once inside, a spacious hallway immediately gives the flat a good sense of space. There is room for furniture as well as useful built-in storage cupboards, with the staircase rising to the upper floor.

The living room sits at the front of the building and is one of the most appealing rooms in the property. An exposed stone feature wall adds plenty of character, incorporating a fireplace with space for an electric fire. At the opposite end, the traditional timber-framed bow window looks directly over Cardigan High Street. Its deep window seat creates a lovely spot to sit and watch the activity of the town below, while bringing plenty of natural light into the room.

Details Continued: - Also overlooking the High Street is the kitchen, a long room fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces and sink, together with an electric hob and oven. There is space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer, while the proportions of the room also allow space for a dining table and chairs.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the second floor, where the landing is divided into two sections and includes an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and immersion heater.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles. The rear bedroom has an interesting shape and plenty of floor space, with windows bringing in natural light and a fire escape window providing an alternative means of escape.

The front bedroom is another particularly appealing room, with good proportions and a striking dormer-style window arrangement adding character to the space. The elevated position also gives the upper floor a very different feel from the busy High Street below.

The bathroom completes the accommodation and is fitted with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. A timber-framed window provides natural light.

Externally: - Outside, the property has the added benefit of its own small garden area to the rear. This is a particularly welcome feature for a town-centre flat, providing outdoor space for seating, pots and planting. There is currently a useful garden storage shed.

There is no allocated parking with the property, although its central position means everyday amenities are within easy walking distance. Cardigan High Street is immediately outside, with independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and other services all close at hand.

With its character features, two-floor arrangement and garden, this is an interesting alternative to a more conventional flat and could suit a range of buyers looking for a home right in the centre of Cardigan.

With generous accommodation and central location, the property lends itself equally well to use as a comfortable town-centre home or as an investment opportunity. Its two double bedrooms, garden area and immediate access to Cardigan’s shops and amenities could make it an appealing option for the rental market, subject to any necessary consents and requirements.

The property benefits from electric heating and electric hot water.

Information About The Area: - Cardigan is a popular market town in West Wales, positioned on the River Teifi and within easy reach of the Cardigan Bay coastline. The town has a good selection of everyday facilities alongside Cardigan Castle, the Guildhall Market, schools and leisure facilities. The surrounding area is well known for its beaches, coastal walks and countryside, with Poppit Sands, Mwnt, Aberporth and the Teifi Estuary all within easy reach.

A note from the seller - As the entrance to the flat is around the back, you can be walking on the coast path in 10 minutes, and walking in the park and woodland in 5 minutes from leaving the door, and it’s about a 45min walk to Patch through country lanes and fields.
